Anime fans are very hyped about the upcoming fighting game based on theDragon Ballseries. This game is calledDragon Ball: Sparking Zero, and it would be a brand-new game in the long-running series of Budokai Tenkaichi games. For those unaware, these are the games where players have a view of their character’s back, and instead of a fixed 2D environment like most fighting games, players get a wide-open 3D environment to fight in.
No doubt, this kind of gameplay opens up possibilities for some epic fighting sequences. All those powers being used and characters being thrown from one corner to another start looking even better than anyone can imagine.Dragon Ball: Sparking Zeroaims to be just that game, but some fans have already started noticing some issues with it.
Fans cannot help but notice an issue in the latestDragon Ball: Sparkling Zerotrailer

But some eagle-eyed people decided to give it a closer look, and they noticed something problematic. They noticed that one of Vegeta’s flash attacks did not connect with Goku as well as it should have. This means the attack did not even touch him. And they decided to point this out to everyone else.

While it is an issue, it is not as glaring as one might imagine. Many fans noticed this issue, too, but they brushed it off, suggesting that it was an in-development game. Of course, it has an issue like that. And they might be right too; these kinds of details are often fixed in the later days of a game’s development, as this is basically part of mere polishing.
Here’s hoping the developers actually fix this issue, though, as fans ofDragon Ballare pretty attached to this franchise. They would not care for a flawed title if the developers let these kinds of issues slip so easily.
Besides these small blemishes, this game actually brings a lot of new things to its fans. According to the game’sofficial website, it brings an incredible number of characters to the table, with all of their signature abilities, techniques, and transformations available to the players. They are also boasting about theirhighly interactive 3D arenasthat get destroyed realistically.
Besides the highly detailed world and incredibly fast-paced fighting mechanics,Dragon Ball: Sparking Zerois going to complete one incredible feat, and that is to bring together around 164 characters from the franchise in one place for players to choose from and use in battles.

By doing this,Dragon Ball: Sparking Zerowould effectively become the Budokai Tenkaichi game with thehighest number of characters ever.Previously, this record was held by Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3, which had around 162 characters for players to choose from. This means there are a bunch of reasons for fans to be hyped about it.
Fans cannot help but focus on this one small issue
Ever since one of the fans pointed out that one issue in that fight sequence, others have been unable to help but discuss it. Some are saying it’s no big deal, while others suggest that the developers should fix it before launch.
When Vegeta’s Final Flash hits Goku it’s really bad, it doesn’t even look like it hits him, I hope they fix that.
